What's the old saying: If it's too good to be true....

What are the chances of getting 3 emails from 3 different companies at around

05:30 this morning, offering ridiculous prices on goods?

Sure as a retailer, I get many offers from many companies, but I find this very hard to believe. Here are just some of the products that also offer free courier shipping:

Apple Products Apple Iphone 5 16GB/32GB/64GB -------------$110/$120/$130 Apple Iphone 4S 16GB/32GB/64GB-------------$90/$100/$110 Apple Iphone 4 16GB/32GB/64GB--------------$70/$80/$90 Apple MacBook Pro MD318LL/A --------------$270.00 Apple MacBook Air i5 13.3 MC965ZH/A------- $230 Apple MacBook Air 11.6 i7 MD845LL/A--------$325

Samsung Not II 32GB -----------------------$120 SAMSUNG GALAXY S III 16GB/32GB-------------$90/$100 Samsung Galaxy S 4 16GB/32GB/64GB-------$110/$120/$130 Blackberry Z10-----------------------------$130 Blackberry bold touch 9900 ----------------$100 HTC windows phone 8X ----------------------$65 HTC one X ---------------------------------$98 HTC one S ---------------------------------$65 Samsung Galaxy Nexus gt-19250------------- $70

I kid you not, within minutes of each other:

Their wholesaler in common, appears to be Shenzhen baolijing electronic CO,.LTD

The prices look made up to me. Pluck a silly figure out of the air.

Comments?

very hard to believe. Here are just some

I ended up getting a similar offer from 8 different companies with 8 different web sites, then multiple emails started. As I change my email address every year, I filtered them at my server for now.

I figure a lot of people will be hit hard from this mob, either with mass emails or by putting their hands in their pockets. Google brings in some interesting results on the domains.

Deception site! They stole from me extortion of 1000 dollars. Gave fictitious numbers of sending goods. Goods didn't send, simply took away money. I on the brink of suicide. I don't become soon, be they are damned. Swindlers destroyed all I wash life.
